Working with Network Plans 59

Nortel WLAN—Management Software 2300 Series Reference Guide

A network plan is the workspace in WLAN Management Software you use to design a Nortel network. In a network 
plan, you define components of the network (WSSs, APs, and optionally third-party access points). Regardless of 
whether you intend to use physical planning features, you must create a network plan before you can configure or 
manage WSSs or monitor network data. 

A network plan allows modular management of large networks based on organizational or geographical boundaries. For 
example, a network plan can represent a campuswide network. If you install the license key for physical planning, you 
also can define a physical representation of the network (sites, buildings, and floors). In this case, you can import 
drawings of your floor plans into the network plan or draw plan details manually. You can then identify the RF charac-
teristics by importing data from a site survey or by manually identifying RF objects.

Nortel recommends that you limit a network plan to a single campus or Mobility Domain (Nortel network domain). 

Different countries have different regulatory limits for 802.11 radios. Setting the country code in the network plan auto-
matically enforces the appropriate regulatory limits for all configured radios. The greatest geographical scope for a 
network plan is a country, because a network plan is based on one specific country code.

Click New Plan in the left column to display the New Plan page.

In the Network Plan Name box, type a name for the network plan. You can use 1 to 60 alphanumeric 
characters, with no spaces, tabs, or any of the following: slash (/), backslash (\), quotation marks (“ ”), 
asterisk (*), question mark (?), angle brackets (< >), or vertical bar (|).
